Hope Citron
Hope Citron (she/her) is a Certified Rolfer® and artist working in Helena, MT.
Hope centers how we inhabit and engage with ourselves and our surroundings in her practices—she is motivated by our senses and our “-ceptions.” Environment as a cosmos curious, earth heavy, practitioner plays a large role in both her Rolfing and craft practices. Through Rolfing, Hope seeks to work with your nervous system to help you find a sense of home through embodiment. Through craft, Hope recognizes the inherit dialogue she has with you through the purchasing and use of her work and hopes to encourage you to thoughtfully explore your senses and sense of home through the properties of her work.
Hope is happy to facilitate safe exploration out of her Rolfing office in downtown Helena, MT and from her home studio just west of town.
Hope has found ground by way of studying psychology and sociology in New York, farming in California, and playing with clay in Portland, OR. She deepened her exploration via workshops at Penland School of Craft in North Carolina and as a studio assistant for Tara Wilson in Clancy, MT. Hope appreciates her teachers and mentors at the Rolf Institute in Boulder, CO and the weavers and spinners she’s met through the Helena Spinners’ and Weavers’ Guild. She also holds the natural world—the ermines, the trees, the crows, the flowers, the sky, the rivers—as profound teachers and sources of inspiration in her practices.
Hope is a lover of plants and process and finds resource in exploring the forest and tending her garden. She centers pottery, natural dying, and weaving as part of her creative process and is forever curious of the life objects have once they leave her studio.
